Replying to: mikeivan (Jan 24, 2008 6:40 pm) Sequoia is the better value but you don't get the same kind of refinement comfort ride handling that you get in a lexus. Did you not consider any other vehicle when choosing the lx570. I read about a previous lx470 owner as well who bought the new x5 rather than waiting for the lx570. Well of course in a bmw you wouldn't get the reliability that you get from lexus. |

You guys are confusing me with your feedback - at the moment, I feel strongly both ways..... Guess I'll have to go sit in one myself to see if I have to have it.... If the new Sequoia has the same interior as the Tundra, I'll pass. The Tacoma is a nice cabin, but the Tundra (I have had one) has never been particularly nice, and IMO, still isn't.

Replying to: mikeivan (Jan 28, 2008 7:00 am) Personally I didn't like the front seat, mind you I drive a 2006 LX470 with very comfortable front seats. Putting aside this small detail and having my wife with me we found the Sequoia a very good SUV that will steal many sales away from the new Land Cruiser. My wife love it, is huge inside 2nd and 3rd rows fold flat. Tons of rooms for knicksknacks, large cup holders , the V8 5.7 liters is the way to go. In the Platinum trim is standard. There are a few things that I don't care for it ; the driver's side emergency foot brake, the gas door does not have a interior lock, the tunnel gauges. I am looking forward to test drive the new LX570, every time the Lexus dealer gets one or two they sell it right of way. Let me know how you like test driving the Platinum.

Replying to: luckylou (Jan 28, 2008 9:07 am) with nice instruments and better quality materials. I did not find any difference between the rides of the LX and the Sequoia, I would even say that the Sequoia has the better ride (independent suspension that the LX does not have) The waiting time for the LX is 3 months and MSRP. Although the MSRP difference is 20 K the actual difference is 25 k . I have decided to go for the Platinum since it has the same engine and transmission, a lot more space but lower quality fit and finish! I plan to buy a second fuel efficient vehicle with the 25k difference
